29 Things You Need To Eat In Leeds
"Based in the prestigious Victoria Gate, East 59th is a New York-inspired rooftop bar and grill providing superb rooftop views of the city. We’re not surprised that it’s considered to be one of Leeds’ most loved brunch spots, with guests anticipating to experience its buzzing atmosphere and great music every weekend. Brunchers can enjoy eggs all day long, including eggs benedict, eggs royale and scrambled truffle toast."
"Sitting at the top of beautiful shopping destination Victoria Gate, is East 59th rooftop restaurant, bar and terrace. Oozing laid back Manhattan style, East 59th offers contemporary dining and cocktails. The outdoor terrace is a little haven in the city, surrounded by greenery, wooden furniture and decking."
"Designed to resemble a New York rooftop bar and restaurant, this stylish hangout celebrates contemporary American dining. This means you can tuck into bottomless brunch from midday onwards any day of the week."
"Set high in the Leeds Trinity Building, Angelica is a mainstay when it comes to Leeds restaurants with views. Given its high position, both the indoor and outdoor dining spaces look over the city, making date night all the more special."
"With a wrap around terrace and panoramic city views, Angelica is a real show-stopper. Relax in a luxurious setting with a cocktail prepared by one of their skilled mixologists. What better way to spend a summer’s day?"
"A classy rooftop bar, make your way to Trinity and head six storeys up. Said to boast sophisticated cocktails, the atmosphere here is a calm one and again has some picture-perfect views."
"There's a lot worth eating at Headrow House's resident restaurant, Ox Club, but you've not really lived until you've eaten their signature wood-fired steak & chips whilst sampling the wares of the Beer Hall. There's just something about eating possibly the best steak of your life from a takeaway box that feels both dirty and decadent at the same time."
"Boasting the high quality restaurant the Ox Club, a beer hall with brews from around the globe and a live music venue. That’s all before you make your way up to Redondo Beach & Roof Terrace; their very own very own cocktail bar that leads out onto the roof terrace complete with kitchen, outdoor bar and sheltered areas with plenty of seating."
"Headrow House has one of the biggest outdoor terraces in Leeds, set over two floors. It offers stunning views over the rooftops of the city."
"After a chase around the small neighbouring green space of Lovell Park, The Reliance offers beautifully prepared, seasonal meals and welcomes dogs (who’ve wiped those paws) into the bar and lounge areas. There’s a full food service throughout those spaces, plus water bowls, with two main specialities. The first is a casual charcuterie, made using rare breed pork from Thirsk that’s been cured on-site in The Reliance’s own curing room."
"A bar and restaurant combined, The Reliance doesn’t have to shout about what it does, because it does it so gosh darned well. Behind the bar, they have craft beer, quality wine and all the spirits you could desire, but it’s the kitchen that really impresses. This is British food, done well and served up in a bar that’s completely down to earth – try their homemade charcuterie, it’s sensational."
"The Reliance is a comfortable-as-old-slippers bar where you can happily while away an afternoon reading or chatting with a Yorkshire beer or good glass of natural wine in hand. Yet it's also one of Leeds' best... North African in Leeds"
"Once the restrictions are lifted, we are available for a range of occasions, for dining, parties, private meals, celebrations and funerals."
"This guildhall in the city of York was one of the most important buildings in the medieval city. The majority of the Hall was built in 1357 by a group of influential men and women who came together to form a religious fraternity called the Guild of Our Lord Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The main part of the building consists of the Great Hall, the Undercroft and the Chapel."
"Merchant Adventurers’ Hall on Fossgate is one of the finest medieval guild halls in existence. A fascinating museum also available for weddings and events (great vintage fairs take place here), the venue’s centrepiece is the Great Hall where medieval merchants once gathered. A collection on display inside includes a range of fine silver, paintings and furniture."
"Dominating Millennium Square is Leeds Civic Hall, which took over from the Town Hall as the city’s main municipal building. Construction began in the height of the great depression in 1931 and utilised many who would otherwise have been unemployed. If you look closely, you can see two 2.3 metres high gold-leafed owls on top of its twin towers which are joined by four more owls on columns in Millennium Square."
"Leeds Civic Hall is one of the main attractions on Millennium Square. Vincent Harris won the competition for the design of the building in 1926 and work began five years later in 1931. It took just two years to complete and was opened by King George V and Queen Mary in 1933."
"Built in the 1930s, the Civic Hall replaced Leeds Town Hall as the administrative centre in 1933. It is a Grade II listed building which includes the council chamber, council offices, and a large hall."
